This special event is an exceptional opportunity for our Euro IRP members to discuss and debate issues affecting the independent research sector directly with the UK regulator.

Euro IRP has consistently sought to ensure regulators and asset managers are truly aware of the priorities and concerns of independent research providers, and we hope very much you are able to attend to enable your member firm to be represented and your voice heard.

The panel discussion will include time for Q&A from our Members.
